Interview with Tariel Sokhadze, Chairman, Art Fund, Tbilisi, Georgia

Ministry of Culture and Monument Protection of Georgia in the current economic situation is developing new understanding of new values for the countries of Europe and Eurasia. A strategic plan in the direction “Georgia a world center of paintings and sculpture” is under development.

posted on September 12, 2014

Tariel Sokhadze:We understand your approach. Let me introduce our opinion. Let's begin with the fact that modern society, and all the countries, all the nations in today's world did not come into being from scratch.
Let us agree that nothing - in particular a state or a society - can be made out of nothing.
In the historical past (to which all of us owe what we have) two main types of state have formed: those expanding on land (Rome, Byzantium, Russia etc.) and those expanding seaward (England - then Britain, the Netherlands, Spain. The USA etc.).

The latter ones have created the modern society. But this society, with its own aspirations, reproduces the ideas and aspirations of its ancestors - those who founded humankind as a society, who have created culture as a value, education as an opportunity, and family as a value and an opportunity in combination. Yes, empires have fallen, yet a feeling of incompleteness have remained, intertwined with a feeling of inevitability. Societies do not develop in a revolutionary way (which brings devastation and destruction) but in an evolutionary mode. There will be no evolution if a “genetic code” of freedom is not built into society. To obtain such a “code”, a long precious history is needed. Family is the most basic foundation for that. Consider the issue of “young” states. We often hear such a term, but what does it signify - youth as inexperience - or youth as a prospect of future? I imagine an empire where I used to live, which killed (in the direct sense of the word) many “gladiators” - after first exterminating the elite. Then another elite took shape - the “red intelligentsia”. It grew on the basis of false values. The image of the “enemy” was used to shape these false values. By such means, the empire prolonged its existence. Then the lie, which had had no future anyway, collapsed. Societies which have no unhappy imperial experience, always operate in the same conceptual system: “your society needs freedom of expression... Human rights ... Etc.”. They are right - but who is to create those values, about which we are all unanimous? An elite which had grown up on the basis of false values, or that “intelligentsia” which is now needed by no one, with its “red” ideology. The answers will be given by the future. Inevitability determines our future. Leo Tolstoy knew well enough that Anna Karenina did not deserve death, and her life was such that suicide was unneeded. Why then did she perish? Because the author also knew something else perfectly well: if the novel’s beginning contains a sin, then it should end pitifully... and so he led Anna to the railroad, made her put her head on the rails, and sent the train rolling. This is what inevitability is all “The Old Man and the Sea”, but rather in that of Sholokhov’s “ The fate of a man”.There are grounds for hope. Education is a historical value for us. Our ancestors have created an philosophical academy, adding a second academy in the 10th century. Today, our young generation - even those of them who need social support - are striving for access to educational institutions. We hope we shall succeed in all our undertakings.

Fermata Arts Foundation correspondent:What is Georgia? Rustaveli "Knight in the Panther's Skin" vs. Anna Karenina. A lost world? What is it losing? At first appearance, - the answer is: passion. Also there is a smooth development of the dance, the waltz. But the lezginka is still the lezginka. This is the wisdom of generations.... Our opinion:
Tariel Sokhadze:“The future is never built from scratch, and neither is society.”

Fermata Arts Foundation correspondent:-The "New World" (the USA and others) has seen the royal nobility balls.

Alexander Green presented it in literary form and combined the two types of countries through the image of the free wind. Assol and Arthur Gray told the world about their passion, then the wave severed them. Assol dream came true. Arthur’s rude and cold father... This stone they will carry through their life. But back to the wave. The wave and the rude cruel world - the story is the personification of this truth. A state on the water and a state on the land - they share this wave.

Tariel Sokhadze: “...founded humankind as a society”
Fermata Arts Foundation correspondent: A human being has always been alone, and remains alone.Society is his decline and death.

Tariel Sokhadze:...” a value and an opportunity in combination”

Fermata Arts Foundation correspondent:Trying to feed oneself, to clothe oneself, , i.e. to change one’s image. But a Georgian toast gives one the opportunity to see a man in the image of the "Knight in the Panther's Skin". Culture, education, family - all this it's a tool organized by the government. Where did the father go to visit before visiting his soldier son? To the vine.

The technical and the social environment : this is the “toast” and the “vine”. But is that really so? Something is missing here. Obtaining the fruit from the vine. Is there the" culture, education, family in this "obtaining”?” Each dance has its own special "caper". Is that just culture? No, it is a direct connection with the Almighty.

Tariel Sokhadze:...’ a feeling of incompleteness”

Fermata Arts Foundation correspondent:А human being is an individual who has nutrition and who gives nutrition to others. One man gave nutrition to a whole country. The country has responded, but nothing happened. The wisdom of the language has found no connection with the philosophy of "let us wait and see".

Tariel Sokhadze:...“genetic code” of freedom...

Fermata Arts Foundation correspondent: ...A genetic code of freedom - this has to do with genetics, the quality genome, pathology, the agent conflict, submission. . This is the technical system affecting human existence. . The "caper", the toast and the lezginka are on the verge of destruction. The question arises as to whether any countries should remain sanctuaries, reserves, untouched by this? One of the countries in question, even a whole continent is Africa, even continent. . What country can be next to declare itself in this field?

Tariel Sokhadze:“as a prospect of future”...

Fermata Arts Foundation correspondent:No, this is a nation’s wisdom and a status of a referee. One global power did not manage to cope with this mighty offspring. Another global power is permeated with technology. A large vested interest of business has accumulated with does not want to make itself accessible to the wisdom of the common man: it cannot compete on the ground of this concept.

Tariel Sokhadze: ... “on the basis of false values”...

Fermata Arts Foundation correspondent:Contact with false values tempers resistance and teaches how to distinguish a barren blossom from a fruitful flower.

Tariel Sokhadze:... “ suicide was unneeded”...

Fermata Arts Foundation correspondent:We are approaching the two main formations of social structures - on the water and on land. All other countries - are islands. A wave, be it on land or on water, destroys these islands. Compromise, conversation provides an opportunity to survive for these small islands , to maintain their structure.

Tariel Sokhadze: ...“Leo Tolstoy understood that perfectly”...

Fermata Arts Foundation correspondent:Leo Tolstoy is a good story-teller. A good story-teller is like the caper, the toast or the national dance. A “caper” can have no conception of sin.

Tariel Sokhadze:... “The Old Man and the Sea”...

Fermata Arts Foundation correspondent:The old man lost nothing. The powers were incommensurate. He had to yield since he entered a struggle with the force of nature. Sholokhov - is a great writer. But he is a writer.. And Tolstoy said that he is no writer. (See Nikolay’s web site section: Philosophy (1) "Babaev" (www.synkovhousereapir.com/architecture-and-poetry.html)). This is the difference. Philosophy can find no contact with journalism. Look at Georgia’s epics. Through conversations, you will find the younger generation in any country which will be open to love you, to see you and know you. A wise friend - this is what the youth needs now. Child drawings of your country are resonating in America.

We are open to all your questions and to future development of our work together.

"A World
of individuals who use their job positions for satisfying their
personal ambitions"is a topic of our next interview

posted on September 9, 2014

Individuals
with weapons feel free themselves in Iraq. Basis for this is
presentation of individuals with weapons in the countries of the
post-soviet space. How strong are these individuals at the present
time noted in his letter of Mayor of Nikolaev Y.I. Granaturov,
Nikolaev, Ukraine. These individuals interfere with the political and
economic situation in Ukraine. Political directionality of activities
of individual Putin not representing in this case institutions of
Russia, but using his position for satisfying individual ambitions
gave an opportunity to create a situation of instability.

Activities
of this type of individuals, their interests to this type of
activities require to be legislatively formalized. Analysis by the
educational institutions of the country is required.

Fermata
Arts Foundation (FAF) will present decisions of the countries'
government in this direction on its pages. Support of educational
institutions in the countries in developing a question “society
development” through literary works of different writers is also
interesting. FAF will also post these reflections. Great contribution
to the development of society was made by L. Tolstoy.

An
extract from the Fermata Arts Foundation letter with a request for an
interview with Ludmila Tsareva, Acting Rector, Maxim Gorky Literature
Institute, Moscow, Russia is enclosed below:

Comments
from Elena Kriukova, Fermata Arts Foundation Director, Nizhny
Novgorod, Russia, in the section “In
the Artist's Drawing Room” in regards to establishing a World
Quality Center for Naval Ships in Ukraine are in a stage of
formation.

To
develop these comments FAF approached Maxim Gorky Literature
Institute, Moscow, Russia. Maxim Gorky Literature Institute is Elena
Kriukova's alma mater. On September 3, 2014 FAF's representatives had
a telephone communication with Ludmila Tsareva, Acting Rector, Maxim
Gorky Literature Institute. Ms. L. Tsareva agreed to be interviewed
in the week of September 8, 2014. “Events in Iraq” was proposed
by the FAF's representatives as a subject for a discussion.

Why?

Structural
directionality for the country of this Institute has been formed by
Maxim Gorky ideas (one of them is Gorky novel “The Mother”).
Writer E. Kriukova develops concepts of motherhood in her works.
Theme “literature and life”, how they are connected is a
direction of activity that is explored in the Institute's lobbies.
Boris Tarasov, previous rector of Maxim Gorky Literature Institute,
in his interview with the FAF's representatives in 2011 presented
this direction for analysis of the processes that are taking place in
the country. However, construction of a new academic building for the
Institute and his direct involvement in the construction process
interfered with the opportunity to focus his activities on the
performance of his direct responsibilities [On June 18, 2014 in House
Session Congressman Louis Gohmert discussing Justina Pelletier case
in Massachusetts quoted Judge Joseph F. Johnston:“I find that the
parties have shown by credible evidence that circumstances have
changed since the adjudication on December 20, 2013,...”
Congressman Louis Gohmert added: “It is not the circumstances have
changed, but the Judge finally did his job” [Congressman Gohmert,
Louis "Louie" B. Jr. THE APPROPRIATIONS PROCESS. I THINK
WE'RE ALL BETTER WHEN WE HAVE OPEN AMENDMENTS. AND HAVE A CHANCE TO
HAVE EVERYBODY HAVE INPUT. IT'S
A...http://www.c-span.org/video/?319993-2/us-house-general-speeches
accessed on August 16, 2014]. The exploratory tone was defined by B.
Tarasov as a direction for any type of communication with the
Institute. Supporting this direction FAF introduces the works of the
following writers that will be used as a foundation for developing a
dialogue through interviews:

“The
Undistorted History of Ukraine-Rus” by Andrey Dikiy,

“Moscow
and Muscovites” by Vladimir Gilyarovsky,

"The
Pillar and Ground of the Truth” by Pavel Florensky.

If
take a mechanical process (mechanical model) to consider a process of
evolving of Russia, then validity of the processes that are taking
place in Eurasian countries can be seen in multiple directions. From
the variety of directions let us focus on the following direction:
Rus, formation of Rus. Philosophical structure for the vision of this
process is required. The question is “why”? L. Tolstoy and F.
Dostoevsky answered this question. Let us focus on the philosophical
work "The Pillar and Ground of the Truth” by Pavel Florensky,
section "Experience of Orthodox Theodicy”. This is one
direction of the process of formation of Russia, from the moment of
its establishment to the present time.

However,
less attractive direction in the current economic situation with
support through purely mechanical actions is also possible. These
mechanical actions are the actions of individuals who are using their
official positions to satisfy their individual ambitions. Egocrat -
who serves the cause, not persons. In
1948, the English writer Orwell wrote the anti-utopia «1984», a
novel that was a warning. This is a collective oligarchy, that is
given birth by the flow of technical progress and the «manager
revolution» engendered by it.

Based
on mechanics, the oversimplified understanding of the mechanics is an
axle. This axle with different types of gears is ready for
participating and organizing a process of movement. For our
presentation we will develop a scenario with two axles. One axle
symbolizes the understanding of "The Pillar and Ground of the
Truth"; the other axle symbolizes the understanding of “Moscow
and Muscovites”.

By
introducing the abstract understanding -”working process of one
axle”, a direction attractive for the current economic conditions
with its adaptation by people, willingness/ unwillingness to
participate in it is a healthy process taking place in the country.

The
other abstract understanding filled with desires of individuals,
satisfaction of their ambitions through the use of taxpayers' money
that activate a process of destruction of the countries can be seen
through a chain of simple understandings “Rus – the beginning of
Rus – Kiev (Kievan Rus') [Andrey Dikiy] - Moscow – Muscovites
[Vladimir Gilyarovsky]”. This is a working regime of the second
axle.

These
are two revolving axles maintaining the movement through mechanistic
connections – gears, or through electrical connections – positive
or negative polarity. Positive polarity or negative polarity for any
given period of time, loss / change of charges, polarity reversal and
steady movement again – this is Moscow, Moscow of Rus, "The
Pillar and Ground of the Truth", a philosophical development of
Russia.

The
fact is that it is not a theoretical / academic idea, but a section
from “Experience of Orthodox Theodicy”. Combining “Experience
of Orthodox Theodicy” with the works of A. Dikiy and V. Gilyarovsky
is possible within the margin of error.

I.e.
it seems the direction in which Russia develops in the existing
economic situation.

Chronicles
of events with the effect of simple actions (parades, marching) is
out of the context with the philosophical development of the
emergence of Russia (real situation). “Experience of Orthodox
Theodicy” is completely erased. Church bells were thrown the second
time.

Moscow
and Muscovites and Emergence of Russia (“The Undistorted History of
Ukraine-Rus”) took place. The country accepted a scenario from
Mikhail Bulgakov's “The Master and Margarita”, and returned to
the Kievan Rus of IX century.

Practical
activities are:

"On
August 28, 2014 Putin sent Russian troops to the motherland - Kievan
Rus' (author of the book Andrey Dikiy). However, since those times,
Ukraine became an independent country, and it does not need foreign
troops on its territory. The individual who destroyed all principles
of democracy in his country now pretends to expand his approach to
other countries.

Regular
mocking of democratic processes in the countries that left a
melancholic regime of the soviet empire through intervention and
educational processes going in Ukraine in the current economy are
incompatible." (from SCHWIPAR Centre for Innovational
Development Letter to Ambassador of Ukraine to the USA Olexander
Motsyk, Letter No. SCID-082914-014 dated August 29, 2014 requesting
his support for establishing World Quality Center for Naval Ships in
Ukraine).

Sending
troops is the action of the individual who uses his position to
satisfy his personal ambitions.

Let
us introduce into consideration a short interval – evolving a young
country Russia. This century. Beginning of this century. Change of
paradigms, formation of the economy as "long
slow growth and a maturity of the market and strategic stagnation"
(Ohmae, 1982 ).
Current economy presented competitive processes as a need. What is
the economic situation in Russia?

Developing
a concept of marching (sudden sending troops) and considering it as a
process that is taking place in the social systems, one emphasizes on
the product that is produced by all people on the planet. Let us take
a silent film “Earth”, by Ukrainian director Alexander Dovzhenko,
produced in 1930. The earth brings forth this product. This product
is an activity of a human being. Wheat head gives life to everyone.
Processes that are described in this epic film, were they a source
for the processes that are taking place right now in Iraq in the
fighting for bread? Is Iraq an initiator of the processes in Israel
(Gaza Strip)? Is Iraq an initiator of the processes of the events
that are taking place in Ukraine? Or maybe these processes are the
outcome from the processes of satisfying the ambitions by the
individuals? Then legislative power, the State Duma, Federation
Council structures have their own opinion for bringing legal actions
against these people.

On
September 8, 2014 communication with Ms. L. Tsareva will take place.
After this brief communication, the interview questions will be
forwarded to Ms. L. Tsareva.

The
United States can only offer a discussion through cultural
structures.

[English
translation: “You asked an interview about Iraq, but are talking
about Ukraine. We are an educational institution and do not deal with
politics.”]

To interpret these comments in the content of the FAF letter, amplified
by the fact that the answer received was from a representative of the
educational institution of the country at the level of rector, the
following question can be active for further development of comments,
interview, discussion, etc.:

an
individual is communicating with the society, forming his style
through a system of “intuitive understanding”(weapons, only
weapons, are needed in the society, making decisions for society
through weapon) and how civilization re-applies to the Stone Age
instrumentation that this individual is taking out of the storage of
his intuitive thinking formed on his heritage structures. (Intuitive
thinking: “Because it often includes unconscious material,
intuitive thinking appears to proceed by leaps and bounds”
http://www.sofia.edu/about/history/transpersonal-pioneers-carl-jung/
accessed on September 9, 2014). Acceptance or rejection of this
individual by the society. These questions were developed in L.
Tolstoy works.

Literature
supports and provides understanding that a formation process of an
individual, as an example, had place and has started in Russia. Iraq,
events in Iraq is only a reflection to these processes and
understanding of permissiveness and unpunishability is also taken in
these literary works. Interpretation of religious canons, what is
right and what is not, provides an opportunity to these individuals
to act with weapon. In these moments they see themselves as the
deity. After killing people they appeal to the source of their
religion, and find defense. These processes can take years, decades.
Mayor of Nikolaev Y.I. Granaturov is making a statement, where is
“defense” from the individual who lives and acts based on
religious canons. Writers will describe this process through their
works. However, Mayor of Nikolaev and his specific numerous staff are
ready at the present time to develop shipbuilding industry
institutions for formation of world fleet needs.

On
September 20-30, 2014 FAF”s representatives will go to Nikolaev,
Ukraine with a working visit.

An interview - sent as a
letter to the directors of Fermata Arts Foundation: "In the
drawing room of George Tchankotadze".

Reporting starts here:Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:How much does an
artist's trip to America cost from countries of post-Soviet space?
This is a question for the artist. A minor addendum. A country of the
post-Soviet space covered all of the costs of cultural workers from
its budget. An agent receiving this representative knew all the items
of expenditure and made the payments himself.

George Tchankotadze:I
believe that the consent of the Ministry of Culture to finance the
travel expenses - whether it be preliminary or final - may,
in one way or another,
be neutralized/annulled.

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:Have you sent a letter
to the American Embassy in Tbilisi (a letter to you was sent on
August 29, 2014)? Clarification is needed here on what is the
particular letter in question. This has to be a letter from the
institutions of Georgia to the American embassy in Georgia with a
request to finance a portion of the expenditure on the events that
will take place in Georgia. Transparency of the trip is needed (what
will you do, where will you go, where the money is coming from) -
this needs to be described, that is one of the requirements for
which the USA is open.Sometimes the
traveler writes a diary detailing the events of each day.
Subsequently, he may publish it. That is his business, and his income
from this trip.Financing by the American
Embassy in Georgia: it finances only events taking place in Georgia.
Basically, in this specific case, it is the educational process of a
U.S. representative in his work on the creation of the budget
allocating the necessary funds for achieving the trip's goal. Do you
agree with that?

George Tchankotadze:Yes.

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:If we consider the cost
of a round trip ticket, the cost of a month's stay in America is
greater for a representative of the country by a factor of "n".
There are books for those who would like to visit America. They
describe, in a concise, clear and understandable way, the items of
expenditure, foreseen and unforeseeable, which must in any case be
borne in mind.

George Tchankotadze:I
don’t know.

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:Every person entering
the United States fills a customs declaration that includes a
question on money. Cash up to $10,000 that you bring into the country
does not require explanation. Everything in excess of $10,000 - an
explanation is required.This letter provides an
explanation for the money that you may have in excess of $10,000.

George Tchankotadze:Yes.

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:This report - this is
your diary, and this is also your source of revenue. As for knowing
the the cost of living situation in the country to which an artist
is sent - this is the responsibility of representatives of financial
organizations in the country which is organizing the trip at a
detailed level. Did you have a conversation in the Ministry of
Culture concerning the format of these items of expenditure and their
amounts? An American embassy describes in detail, on its web site,
all expenditure items for a tourist visiting a
country.

George Tchankotadze:...

George Tchankotadze:Expenditures
up to $10,000 and above, where will they go?

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:Question. How is the
second side of this letter seen by you in terms of specific work on
the sculptures?

George Tchankotadze:I
have created new works. Two years ago I created a sculpture of Merab
Berdzenishvili. I have prepared a slide show of my work consisting of
two main periods, the period of realism, and another period in which
I am working now, it's a combination of metal, stone and light. I use
internal illumination of my sculptures, specific adhesives for
connections of parts.

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:New works mean new
buyers. We proceed to the cost of these works.

George Tchankotadze:For
my work different materials are used: metal, stone and polyester, and
in some cases lighting.

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:Do you see making
pictures of your work (of a high quality) - as a business for a
photographer? Is a photographer's business connected with the purpose
of your work?

George Tchankotadze:No

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:Are you going to
America, in art, to present the work of a photographer? And through
the exhibition, to sell them?

George Tchankotadze:I
will present my work. As we have agreed, there will be presentation
of photo-versions of my works.

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:Your work and Kandinsky.
Kandinsky as a representative of the legal profession. Kandinsky as a
representative of the artistic circles of Germany, and of England.
The museum and Kandinsky - these are related concepts.

George Tchankotadze:...

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:The museum was built at
the expense of Kandinsky. The museum was built at the expense of
Kandinsky's fans/presenters.

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:In the system dynamics
community there is now discussion of the following aspects: the
crowd, the open system, the dynamics for a model of harmony. Your
short remarks on the effects of the "crowd." It is open or
closed, is there a harmony in it or not.

George Tchankotadze:...

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:The cost of the Merab
Berdzenishvili's work - the architectural monument. The initial
price of $400,000, a million, and above.

George Tchankotadze:…

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:Your works, tentatively.
The costs are an order of magnitude less. But the connection of the
form with the content increases the price to $100,000 - $200,000.

George Tchankotadze:…

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:The canvas, its cost
increases over the years.

George Tchankotadze:...

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:A sculpture is sold just
once. Examples - a series of leaders. They are either destroyed or
preserved.

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:Their difference is the
possibility of fairly cheap transportation, and weak binding to a
specific site.

George Tchankotadze:...

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:The effect of a large
sculpture needs to be used.

George Tchankotadze:...

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:Pre-sale of all of your
work.

George Tchankotadze:...

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:And then the effect of
"sale from the collection."

George Tchankotadze:...

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:You have the right to
sign or not to sign the letter.

George Tchankotadze:…

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:The adopted direction is
a new direction for our work.a) another artistb) canvassesc) you come to America
and reproduce the work of Merab Berdzenishvili as an ornamental
component in the structure of urban architecture.In the Ministry of
Culture, they are probably familiar with this practice. The practice
of returning the money, if it exists in your country, is an effect of
inexperience on the part of an artist, a sculptor, an employee of the
Ministry of Culture.

George
Tchankotadze:...

Fermata
Arts Foundation correspondent:Harvard. Your
presentation.

George Tchankotadze: This
will be a very important meeting, where I shall show my work, and the
opinion of the public will be of interest.

Fermata
Arts Foundation correspondent:There is a practice in
the universities of Boston (Massachusetts Institute of Technology),
A university brings together a collection of artwork from
which the student chooses a work to keep in
his dorm room for a period of a semester or
two.

George Tchankotadze:...

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:Adding your work to
collection of the University. Contract variants: with payment or
without payment.

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:Communication while the
work is with the student. Your diary.

George Tchankotadze:...

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:Another option - a short
sale.a) the price effect b)
vandalismIn Russia, businessmen
sometimes buy works of art for a symbolic price in order to shoot
at the characters in the work (Moscow and Moscow region).

George Tchankotadze:...

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:Kandinsky - an artist of
another age and also a lawyer. This is history. Fan circles in
Europe.

George Tchankotadze:...

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:You are a representative
of Georgia. Georgia is a representative of the empire. Merab
Berdzenishvili is only becoming history as yet. Your autobiography
begins with the classics, with Shota Rustaveli.

George Tchankotadze:...

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:Dealer classes have not
been formed in America. And if they exist, to a large extent they are
of a criminogenic nature. But this is a story for a movie and, later,
for sculpture sale. There is a new theme, "dealers in America
and dealers of the fallen empire." Dealers of the collapsed
empire live yet in the minds of the representatives of these
countries. This stereotype is characterized by a quick payment,
without a possibility to subsist on this money, and the work being
placed in the reserves of the museums ("the Stone Wall",
Moscow). Dealers of the USA - has the Ministry of Culture introduced
the new forms of their activities in its estimates? But this is a
new topic....

George Tchankotadze:...

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:The Art Consul in
Columbus, the state capital of Ohio has announced a competition for
the shooting of a film.

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:What is the basis to be
used in sending the materials that will be presented: the sculpture
works or the photos?

George Tchankotadze:Photos.

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:The Certificate of
Registration of the gallery - this is a matter of your financial
independence. What do you think?

George Tchankotadze:I
don’t know.

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:You have a gallery - you
can be invested in. You have no galleries - can one invest in you?

George Tchankotadze:When
you have a gallery...

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:An interpreter from
Georgian into English is needed. No intermediate language can be
used. Has the Ministry of Culture has come up with a candidacy? One
that has been certified, has a driver's license, etc.

George Tchankotadze:No.

Fermata
Arts Foundation correspondent:Does the Ministry of
Culture want to participate in an exhibition in the USA?

George Tchankotadze:I
don’t know.

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:Is the
Ministry of Culture aware that the more
exhibitions it organizes in America, the deeper and wider the
inter-cultural relations will be?

George Tchankotadze:I
don’t know.

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:Application by the
Ministry of Culture: the country of Georgia, presentation of the
Georgian culture in America.

George Tchankotadze:...

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:Why is the Ministry of
Culture afraid to show the work of Georgian artists in America?

George Tchankotadze:...

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:Does the
Ministry of Culture organize exhibitions of works by Georgian artists
in the USA?

George Tchankotadze:...

Fermata Arts
Foundation correspondent:Does the
Ministry of Culture use charitable organizations, or its own
galleries to organize exhibitions of Georgian artists in the USA?

George Tchankotadze:...
